Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
For as long as I can remember, I've loved old houses and always wanted to own one so that I could fix it up. At the end of last year, we bought a modest little house that was built in 1888 in a town of 265 people in Kansas. Our little house hadn't been updated since probably the 1970s, and it's the perfect palette for farmhouse interior design! Weldon Owen Publishing has just released an awesome DIY guide called

What an interesting and beautiful book. My house is very old, although, it was gutted and turned into 2 apartments before I bought it so nothing is old, nor new it just is with many repairs necessary. If I have to repair it I might as well grab the book and do it with charm.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you with houses and who love that old farm look (which I do-but don't own a house!) this book would be a great starting point to turn your home into the look you have always dreamed of.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like my mind kind of book, I just love this style!
